The governor's proposed budget takes on Big Tobacco and Big Vape (often the same companies) and targets the schemes that make deadly nicotine products appealing to kids.
The "Comprehensive Tobacco Control Policy" outlined in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 2020 budget tackles things that localities have tried, and failed, to make stick in the face of Big Tobacco.
The state proposal would mandate a license for retailers to sell e-cigarette products, similar to the licenses they need to sell traditional tobacco products. But local governments are embarking on their own licenses to ensure where and how vaping products are sold, Hogan said. They are nicotine delivery systems, after all, and more teens are using them than actually smoking.
